The undersigned certifies that Mrs. Salome Eckley is the widow of the late Abraham Eckley who died about twenty three years ago; that I consider her to have been of good moral character ever since I have been acquainted with her - which was in her habits, and in the good opinion of those residing in her neighbourhood. She has continued in a state of widowhood since the decease of her husband, and has deserved much credit in keeping the children under her maternal care since the decease of her husband the said Abraham Eckley. She is now advanced in years, in needy circumstances and well deserving of the charitable opinion and countenance of those from whom assistance may or can be asked or expected. I have understood that her late husband Mr. Eckley has resided in the State of Independence
